Abstract

Abstract Using the data of non-financial firms from India, the paper finds that firms with large advertising budget tend to receive more trade credit from their suppliers than firms with low advertising budget. The findings are consistent with the assumption that advertising reduces information asymmetries, builds brand image, and improves firm performance. All of these factors facilitate the access to trade credit. The findings of this paper hold after numerous sensitivity checks.
